No worries, mate. Fighting hypocrisy will do that to you. Even Jesus finally rolled up his sleeves and started kicking over tables in the Temple, and withering trees with a fed-up glance.
When we cede the ground of school curricula and academia to the libs, we are allowing them to plant the seeds of our own destruction.
When one side controls the way words are used, the other side hasn't got a chance in the debating of ideas.
It’s a good read.
And, see response number 4 for the fate of "tolerance" as a noun.
If everybody would worry about minding their own business instead of trying to mind others this country would sure be better off.
The problem, as I see it, is that they say they expect tolerance, but what they really want is approval and support. I can tolerate all sorts of things, but I draw the line when it comes to supporting them.
They are disingenuous, using their seemingly genetic drive to hijack the language for use in support of their goals.
This has been troubling me for a while. It’s become fashionable for leftists to say ‘I don’t want to be tolerated, I want to be accepted!’ as though they are expressing a profound thought. What they fail to mention is that along with ‘acceptance’ goes crushing any thought that is not able to be reconciled with what they believe should be accepted.
They just don’t get John Locke’s basic ideas from Letters Concerning Toleration summarized as
(1) Earthly judges, the state in particular, and human beings generally, cannot dependably evaluate the truth-claims of competing religious standpoints;
(2) Even if they could, enforcing a single “true religion” would not have the desired effect, because belief cannot be compelled by violence;
(3) Coercing religious uniformity would lead to more social disorder than allowing diversity.
Those demanding acceptance of Homosexuality, for example, are basically forcing a religious belief on others, and as Locke pointed out, this will lead to conflict. It would be much better if people would just accept they are tolerated and leave well enough alone.
I’m coming to find that in Kalifornia, “Diversity” means “Uniformly weird.”
Well, I'm not tolerant. The minute they started picketing soldier's funerals and harassing the grieving survivors, I wanted every last one of them shot gangland style, and I still do. I hate them. I'd volunteer to be on the firing squad.
I believe I once read that Martin Luther opined that “Love does not require that we tolerate evil.”
If there is one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance.
The old saw re: pols and how they view the *little folk*, "Taxes for thee but not for me" can be updated using the mindset of the left, the PC crowd, "Tolerance for thee but not for me." It's aggravating!!
